Mounting a desk on a wall

PeteW

Hiya,

I've got some spare white MDF from a knackered wardrobe that I was going to use to try and make a desk in the spare room. I could saw it to fit in the sort of u-shaped gap between the chimney breast and the window. The only question is how to mount it on the wall...

Having a look at the B&Q/Wickes website there's a million different types of bracket out there and no real suggestion as to what each type is for! I suppose I want something fairly small as I don't want them to be visible, but does anyone have any specific suggestions?

Cheers

Pete

I think the easiest and probably the cheapest would be to screw some lengths of 2x1" timber to the walls and screw the mdf down onto it.

I agree with that with the addition of using some 'L' brackets to fix the MDF to the battens.

Put battens on the wall around the three sides of the alcove A couple of fixings underneath at the back to secure the top to the frame would be all you need the get a serviceable desk top.
